Support for the RI Mission of Mercy (MOM) free dental clinic is a direct response to a community need to provide access to dental care to low income and underserved populations. RI is experiencing significant oral health challenges. Half of 3rd grade children have significant and untreated decay and only 40% have had sealants placed. This MOM clinic aims to treat 500-600 patients, providing an estimated $350,000 in donated services. The planning committee includes the Lieutenant Governor who will play a prominent role in engaging policymakers, residents and health professionals to work together to eliminate dental disease. A video will be produced to raise awareness of the difficulty people with limited resources face when attempting to access oral health services.
